This is a large wrought iron blacksmith made trivet/hot plate/grill with 2” 3/4 inch legs. That is high enough that you could throw a few coals beneath a piece and use it to cook – BUT I suspect it was really meant to be a hot plate/cooling rack for iron pots that just came off the hearth.

This is an old copper primary pot with distilling lid. While the body could be used as standard cooking pot it is thin bodied and coppered on the interior (not tinned) as it was used to help purify the spirits produced in the boiling of mash, or botanicals (for making extracts). Not a complete still set up, just the main part. There is no thump tank or worm to complete the process. This was probably made and used around the prohibition era at the latest and could predate that based on construction. Looks like it could be put back to use tomorrow. Large piece

Unmarked

Stands 12” tall without hood, 11”1/2 diameter. Hood is approximately 6” 1/2 tall and conical with a ~ 8” 34 nozzle for distillates. Looks to connect to a standard 1/2” flare fitting (but I have not verified that”

No rust, or damage.

I have to imagine this large ornate iron cross came from an old church somewhere. It is ornate with plant patterns on it, all resting on a clenched fist which is attached to an elaborate base. Traces of gold paint cover the cross itself, but this appears to be paint and not gilt. There is no name or markings I can find on this piece anywhere. Cross is attached to the base by an old hex bolt. I’d guess the piece to be from about 1920-1940 based on casting and the fastener.

Stands (about) 23” tall and has a span of 14”

Sold as found.

No cracks or chips are evident.

Well if Bart Simpson collected cast iron I have no doubt that his collection would largely be made up of pieces by N.E. Butt. I can just see him prank calling Moe’s now….

Anyhow, can’t you imagine using it as a door stop for the guest bathroom? Well back to the piece N.E. Butt Co stands for the New England Butt Co of Providence RI and this is a gorgeous example of a sad iron and honestly the most fun one I’ve ever seen. Yeah its a great decorative piece or a great gag gift. N.E. Butt largely produced butt hinges until about 1880. They continued on making different products mostly wire making machines until about 1950. The buildings of the foundry are now residential lofts.

Cleaned with lye and seasoned with 3 coats of Non-GMO canola oil.

6” 1/4 long x 4 “ wide. Handle stands about 4” 3/4 high.

Marked: with a cartouche type seal “N.E. Butt Co 7 Prov. R.I.” on the top of the iron face.

This Victorian era (c. 1870-1900) C. Blake umbrella stand base has been converted into a baking dish. Stripped, lead tested and cleaned, it now serves as a baking-lasagna dish. It’s also a great gift for anyone named Blake. In any case it’s a lovely piece of iron, ready for use in the kitchen, or of course you could repurpose it back to an umbrella stand. Interior features diamond on the facets and bottom and bars on the outer lips. It was originally part of a two dish hall tree for umbrellas and coats. Both dishes are available.

Marked: “C. Blake” on the interior of the dish, with a gate mark on the bottom.

No cracks, chips. Sits on it’s gate marks so there is a wobble but that should be irrelevant if you use it in an oven. Cooking surface is slightly rough but comparable with baking pieces made for the purpose of the same age.. Should only improve with use.

This is a old tool for making cast iron cookware and other ironware. This was meant to be used to pack the sand around the form to get a nice tight fit so that when the form was removed you’d be left with a sand mold into which to pour the molten iron. I believe the wood is maple but I am certainly not an expert in wood identification.

Unrestored. Sold as found.

Sure don’t see many of these still around which makes this one pretty cool. Definitely an old farm piece. Designed for creaming corn it has serrated teeth to rip open the corn kernels as your ran the ear of corn over it then a steel block (non sharpened) blade to milk out whatever was left inside when it bumped the opposite side. The resulting slurry would end up in a catch tray below. Aging this I’d say it was at least 100 years old.

Measures roughly 10” 1/2 by 3” 1/4 long and 2” 5/8 high.

This is a long legged hand cranked cherry pitter in fully functional shape. Legs on this have some beautiful detail. Someone lovingly painted the flowers (which are cast into the iron and raised slightly) on this piece to make it a bit more decorative and festive because of this – and the gold paint on the lettering on the piece we are not going to fully restore this one – nor do we need to, as making this fully functional for use will be as easy as opening the wing nuts, washing the interior and rubbing it down with some food grade mineral oil. Designed to be mounted on a board or other surface. Great for making pies so it’s functional as well as beautiful.

Condition is great – everything works, no cracks, chips, or flaws are noted.

Roughly 10” 1/2 long, 7” high x 6” 1/2 wide

Sold as is. Items may have been washed or lightly cleaned. No restoration was done, however this piece just needs to be washed and used.

Nice copper cookware from the Paul Revere line made by Revere as their high end line to compete with French copper cookware. Manufactured between 1967-1986 in Oneonta, Alabama. Made from sheets of copper and stainless steel bonded via a pressure system. This is from the early end of the production line, pre the bicentennial in 1976 (the later had a faux Paul Revere signature on it and was notably thinner in the copper layers to save weight).

Combines functionality and beauty. Could be polished up to a great shine or allowed to develop the patina that so many users of copper cookware love.

18” 3/4 handle to end, skillet body is 12” x 8” 3/8

Unrestored. In great shape but has the wear and tear you’d expect on a piece of vintage copper (minor scratches, blemishes, etc). Just wash and use.
